Would it be possible to enable an option in the audio settings to make the sound of the game continue playing in the background when windowed?



It's mostly a QOL feature - The game allows playing in windowed mode, presumably to let people alt-tab easier to other tasks if necessary. However, it's kind of too bad that alt-tabbing also stops the music and sound!



Quite a few games have such an option, so i know it's not impossible to do. I do wonder how much work it would be, but i suspect it'd be a simple flag to be switched

This suggestion has in principle already been proposed here: /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/11929-suggestion-working-sound-notification-when-endless-space-window-is-not-focused

This thread has been linked to the former and is moved to the archives.
